About Moodler
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
Today (20 August), Moodle and its founder and lead developer Martin Dougiamas share a birthday. One is 8 (well, 11 actually from the very first trial). A lot has been written about Moodle, less about Moodler as he likes to nick himself. I work with the guy and I thought Id share a few things [...]

A mighty unplug
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
Unplugging a bit is healthy.
I have just returned from a month of long flying (with two young kids), welcome and goodbye kisses, visits to relatives, pigging out on summer berries of all kinds, cave visiting, gondola riding, kids first touches of snow and fun with it (high altitude), balmy strolls, visits to farms, family barbecues, [...]

Panic button

A story from this mornings paper, in response to a recently publicised assault on a teacher by a student recorded on a mobile phone camera.
State School Teachers Union president Anne Gisborne said measures were needed to ensure an urgent response when teachers were in danger. In circumstances such as that [...]

Invited
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
Our first demo course for the new Moodle Educational Demo Site has wrapped up nicely. Thanks to 40 participants from around the world, we generated some useful sample data and activities for people to see, dip in, even download and play with (now available at standard Moodle Demo site ).
Most importantly, we hope that this [...]

What makes a great Moodle course? Part 1 ? What is a course?

What is a course?
Introduction
Reading Wikipedia like Britannica sucks. Reading Wikipedia like Wikipedia is mind-opening.
Cory Doctorow (http://www.edge.org/discourse/digital_maoism.html)
What is mind opening about reading Wikipedia? Click Discussion on a popular or contentious Wikipedia entry and youll see. The history, variety of views, contributions, changes, updates, the links, the enormity of effort across even one entry will (probably?) hit [...]

Serious fun in Water!
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
The world of water: http://www.flickr.com/photos/snapr/484776493/
“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” (Chinese proverb)
At the start of this week, we opened Water! – a demo Moodle course designed to show not what Moodle can do but primarily what people can do with Moodle (while of course showing [...]

Tools, drools and fools
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
Enjoyed the 2 minutes of one of the greatest scenes (and cuts) in film history? The classic of “technology as an extension of human power”…
I have long been interested in the debate about Learning Management Systems (LMS, often called VLE in the UK) and have read several papers and many (ranty) anti-LMS [...]

It’s finally here … but with a great twist!
I have been meaning to write a cookbook of recipes for using Moodle in education for nearly two years now (just ask Julian “Moodleman” Ridden!) Last year, I suspended writing one with Packt Publishing about halfway through (personal reasons) but I remain eternally grateful to Packt’s [...]

Shake one – Friday afternoon
A beer with “Michael”, a friend, teacher at (one of) the most ‘exclusive’, expensive, ‘high-achieving’ girls school in Perth. I have just explained what I do at Moodle these days and touched on my deep conviction against spoonfeeding students and instead giving them real responsibilities, real problems, real chances [...]

A Prezi
(Tomaz Lasic bookmarked this item)
Nothing terribly brainy from me today…
I gave up on Prezi twice before but last couple of evenings I finally got my head around it. It takes a little getting used to conceptually (endless depth and width of canvas) but it is a fun tool with some pretty cool final output.
Here is little presentation about Moodle [...]
